Clark Habitat for
Humanity on the Move
New location
for store and
office space
The Clark County Habitat for
Humanity Store recently signed
a lease to take over the former
site of Curt W arner Chevrolet at
10811 SE Mill Plain Blvd. in
Vancouver.
The Evergreen H abitat for
Humanity will also move its of­
fice into the space. The consoli­
dation is an opportunity for two
nonprofits to work more closely
together.
The new site will also be con­
venient for Clark County shop­
pers as well as individuals and
businesses who donate materi­
als to the store
"It just makes sense" said Josh
Townsley, Evergreen Habitat for
Humanity's executive director,
"By combining, it will allow us to
have a larger presence together
and as a result have a greater

impact on our community toelimi-
nate poverty housing. It's a win,
win for everyone."
Since 1991, Evergreen Habi­
tat for Humanity has worked to
improve li ving conditions for low-
income Clark County residents.
The organization works in part­
nership with people in need from
all walks of life to develop com ­
munities by building safe, af­
fordable housing.
Evergreen Habitat for H u­
manity has completed 29 homes
in Clark County, and served 78
families through new construc­
tion, repair programs, and its glo­
bal tithe work. The HFH Store,
along with the Portland and
Beaverton Habitat for Human­
ity Restores, raise funds to build
affordable homes for families in
the Vancouver/Portland areas
and will fund eight homes this
year. The stores sell donated
building materials, appliances,
furniture and other home im­
provement products at a frac­
tion of retail prices.
